A really simple way to give your USB device a background image, instead of the usual boring plain white background that you see all the time. And guess what, it's only a simple, easy, painfree few steps process:

                                                    USB Device Background

1. Copy Paste the following code in the notepad and rename that notepad file to desktop.ini (Just make sure when you paste this code, the Double Quotes are in Notepad format otherwise type the Double quotes manually from your keyboard.)

iconarea_image=“back.jpg”

iconarea_text=”0xFFFFFF”

2. Choose any image of your choice and rename it to back.jpg (Recommended size of image is 800 x 600)

3. Copy Paste both these files (i.e. desktop.ini and back.jpg) into your USB device.

4. Make them hidden by right-clicking on the icon, one at a time, and selecting Properties -> Hidden Files -> Apply -> Okay.

5. Just REFRESH your screen by clicking on the GO button after the address bar and you will see your image on background.
